These jeans by Krylon simply invite the question, "Did you spray those jeans on?"

Well, actually the colors were inspired by the paint preferred by graffiti artists everywhere, named Krylon. **Genetic Denim** has launched the **Graffiti Collection**, for which I would pay good money to see someone buy and try to put on or take them off! Barring that, I hope they appear on YouTube.com.

While Krylon is the cheap version of spray paint, these jeans will set you back $185 to $220 at [Barney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-and-barney)’s.
